Am I missing something??? I read that treated waste is prohibited from being discharged in no discharge zones. So why is there any interest at all to install an expensive system to treat waste?

OK........so you say it is best to treat waste no matter where it is discharged. Well here in Massachusetts the radical environmentalists have succeeded to get just about all water declared no discharge areas including Buzzard's Bay, Vineyard Sound, Nantucket Sound. These actions force the so call 3 mile to begin almost 15-20 miles off the mainland.

Personally I firmly believe that holding tanks can result in greater harm than boats without them. Consider a potty macerated dump of 2 quarts or so vs 40 gallons of the same. If environmentalists had their way they would require diapers on poop dumping seals and gulls. CRAZY!
